The Pro Infantibus Internships for Pediatric Medicine

Franz Salm, Pro Infantibus Foundation

Purpose

The American Austrian Foundation and The Pro Infantibus Foundation offer internships to fellows who have completed a Salzburg CHOP Seminar in Pediatrics or a Salzburg Columbia Seminar in Neonatology. The program offers fellows from the Salzburg CHOP or Salzburg Columbia Seminars additional training in their pediatric specialty for one one month in a leading Austrian hospital. The objective of the Medical Internship Programs is to further integrate seminar alumni into the international medical community by inviting them to spend a total of three months, ideally in one-month increments, at Austrian hospitals.

During their stay fellows are able to see new operating techniques, new treatment protocolls and modern hospital management. Furthermore, they are able to establish long term relationships with their Austrian colleagues in the form of ongoing studies between the respective institutions, etc. The internships offer fellows a window to the world of medicine on an ongoing basis.
